These people are studying English. However, they are now

facing some problems.

I am Pablo. I work 50 hours a week as a taxi driver, so I talk to people

all day. They understand me, but I know I make a lot of mistakes. No one

corrects me. My vocabulary is strong. Grammar is my problem. I'm trying

to change little by little. For example, I don't use the past tense (时态). I always say, “I drive him to the office this morning” instead of

“I drove him to the office this morning”.

My name is Maria Luisa. I'm teaching myself English, and I'm good at

grammar. However, it's really difficult to find ways to practice English.

I live in an area where everyone speaks my language. My neighbors and

friends speak Spanish. I can speak Spanish in the supermarket and at the

post office.

I am Li Ping. I understand the grammar and the readings in my class

and I think my writing is good, but I'm very nervous when I speak English.

I don't want to make any mistakes because I'm afraid people will think

that I'm stupid. Also, my pronunciation isn't good. When I speak, people

often say, “What Say that again”.

I am Yoshi. I have been in the United States for one year. I'm

studying hard and I know grammar well, but the vocabulary is very difficult. When I listen, I don't understand many of the words. When I

try to read, there are three or four new words in every sentence. I feel

discouraged.

In the summer of 1885, nine-year-old Joseph Meister was very ill. He

had been wounded by a sick dog that had rabies, a very dangerous disease. His parents were told that there was probably only one man who could save

Joseph's life — Louis Pasteur.

When Pasteur was a young boy in France, he spent many hours every day

with the chemist (药剂师) who lived in his small town. At that time, the

chemist had to make all the medicines himself. Young Louis enjoyed

watching the chemist as he worked and helped those people who came to him

each day.

As a schoolboy, Pasteur worked slowly and carefully. At first, his

teachers thought that young Louis might be a slow learner. Through

elementary school, high school, and college, Pasteur worked in the same

thoughtful way. Then he became a college professor (教授) and a scientist,

and he continued to work very carefully.

Pasteur was studying about the germs (细菌) that cause rabies when

Joseph Meister became ill. In fact, Pasteur believed he had a medical

treatment for rabies, but he had never given it to a person before. At

first, Pasteur was afraid to treat Joseph, but the poor child was dying.

Pasteur gave Joseph an inoculation (预防接种) every day for ten days.

Slowly, the child became better.

During his lifetime, Pasteur studied germs and learned how they cause

diseases in animals and people. He developed vaccinations (疫苗) that

prevent many of these diseases. On September 28, 1895, Louis Pasteur

passed away, at the age of 72. The work of this great man has been of great

help to modern medicine.

Navarathri, which is celebrated throughout India, falls in September

or October. On the first three days, people pray (祈祷) to the goddess

Durga, the protector who destroys all evil (邪恶). The next three days

they pray to Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth. Then, also for three days,

they look to Saraswathi, the goddess of wisdom and knowledge. The tenth

and final day of the festival is for the goddess Durga. On this day many

years ago, Durga killed the evil buffalo-headed monster (怪物),

Mahishasura.
